    NOT YOUR AVERAGE PODCAST
  • “The future is female powerlifting” is the best powerlifting podcast out now. Heidi and her guests have such natural and engaging banter about all facets of powerlifting. Heidi seems so down to earth and likeable, you don’t have to be a veteran lifter to learn and understand the conversation topics. I feel like I learn something from every episode”

OUR STORY

In 2017, podcast fan Heidi Dehnel spent many days searching for a show that interviewed women of the powerlifting community. After finding only a handful that spoke with female powerlifters, she was unenthused by the lack of compelling questions and thought provoking conversations.

Heidi wanted to know more about how they struggled after the birth of their first child or how going through a divorce challenged their training. She had so many questions that were left unanswered that she felt would inspire her and other women listening.

And so, a year later, the show was born.

The Future Is Female Powerlifting Podcast first aired Nov 2018 with a passion to connect with influential powerlifting women.

The show began with 2 shows a month and now airs 4 shows a month, each launching every Thursday. Heidi has interviewed some of the most well respected lifters in the industry as well as appear at top meets such, as the Apeman Elite, to interview elite female lifters competing.
